Welcome, Illinois and Indiana residents. I've been a licensed mental health therapist for 20+ years and have had a variety of different roles in the behavioral health field. I believe my personal and employment experiences over the years help to inform the way I am with clients today. I help clients in a number of areas including those struggling with anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, trauma and PTSD, grief, life transitions, parenting concerns, self-esteem, self-harming behaviors, body image issues, and women's issues. My favorite part of being a therapist is when clients have that "aha" moment -- that new discovery about a particular belief or behavior that has held them back. Once that moment shows up there is space for new growth to take root.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the initial session I'll be asking a variety of questions to get a better understanding of what you've been struggling with and what you're looking to change. By the end of this session, we'll come up with some goals which we will monitor throughout your treatment. The length of treatment varies greatly on a number of factors, so we also will discuss your goals related to timeline and session frequency.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I'm compassionate, intuitive, supportive, and clients tend feel comfortable with me. We're all on a healing journey if we choose to be. I believe my own struggles, particularly when I was younger, have been the most powerful motivators of my work as a therapist. It's WHY I became a therapist. Had I not found qualified mental health providers who helped me grow and change, I'm not sure where I'd be today. Because of my work with them, I know life can be different and better. It's common to feel alone, stuck, and sometimes hopeless when you're in the midst of a struggle, so it's very important to know that things can change and improve.
